Made the same year as G.A. Smith's groundbreaking multiple close-up study Grandma's Reading Glass, this short film of spiders trapped in some kind of enclosure (the title notwithstanding, there are no webs to be seen) is less formally ambitious, consisting as it does of a single shot.

Nonetheless, it is one of the earliest British examples of close-up natural history photography, predating Percy Smith's insect studies by a decade.
